We’re joined by Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction; Michael Carroll, BLM Campaign Director for The Wilderness Society; and Sarah Stellberg, Staff Attorney at Advocates for the West. The panel discusses this history or institutional conservation in the United States, including the shift from a top-down to bottom-up approach, and the Bureau of Land Management’s 2024 Public Lands Rule, which combines elements of both.
